Try GameNetworkingSockets

[TheClonerx]

Specify library name and version: game-networking-sockets/1.3.0

I saw this listed on #621 and thought it would be a good addition to CCI.

Closes #7589

• I've read the guidelines for contributing.
• I've followed the PEP8 style guides for Python code in the recipes.
• I've used the latest Conan client version.
• I've tried at least one configuration locally with the
  conan-center hook activated.

package_info() and a test_package are missing

[TheClonerx]

So, GameNetworkingSockets unconditionally builds both the static and shared libraries here. Should I surround these by an if-else in a patch?

• The protobuf:shared option has to be somehow reflected on this package's ID.
• Some tests fail due to old compilers not supporting static_assert, while on Windows there's some weird permission shenanigans going on.
• Cross-compiling doesn't work (Linux -> Windows) due to CMake using the Windows protoc binaries.
• A patch is needed to only build and install either the shared or static library.

Patches are hard to maintain. Probably the cleanest way, would be to see if upstream would accept an optional build setting to only build one of them. The easier one would be to just delete the respective unwanted library in package()

Cross-compiling doesn't work (Linux -> Windows) due to CMake using the Windows protoc binaries.

You can add a package both as a requirement and as a build_requirement. You also have to use two Conan profiles, both together should accomplish this (but I have almost zero hands-on experience with that setup myself, so I can't really help further)

Some tests fail due to old compilers not supporting static_assert, while on Windows there's some weird permission shenanigans going on.

If that is nothing that can be easily fixed, then exclude these old, unsupported compilers. Something along the lines of:

So, ConanInvalidConfiguration can't be raised from build(), but deps_cpp_info is not available in validate().
I'm guessing that we can't check openssl version at all then.

That's odd... we have a bunch of recipes that do this... Also I just wrote #7621 to do exactly that 😕

conan-center-index/recipes/simple-websocket-server/all/conanfile.py

Lines 45 to 46 in 41d4fbb

	def build(self):
	if tools.Version(self.version) <= "2.0.1" and "asio" in self.deps_cpp_info.deps and tools.Version(self.deps_cpp_info["asio"].version) >= "1.18.0":

It's a topic in another PR as well #7510 (comment)

Please do not force push 🙏 GitHub forces us to restart the review which is not fun!

[TheClonerx]

Oh, i didn't know that.
Thanks for telling me that
